Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN) is an independent master limited partnership that specializes in the distribution and marketing of transportation fuels and related products. The company operates through two primary segments: wholesale fuel distribution and retail marketing. In wholesale distribution, Sunoco supplies branded fuels to distributors, commercial customers and resellers across the United States. Its retail marketing arm operates a network of company‐owned and franchised Sunoco branded service stations and convenience stores, providing gasoline, diesel, ethanol blends and lubricants to consumers.
Sunoco’s product portfolio extends beyond traditional fuels to include biofuels, specialty chemicals and on‐road diesel treated to meet ultra‐low sulfur requirements. The company leverages bulk terminals, pipelines and storage assets to maintain a reliable supply chain, ensuring delivery of fuel to both high‐volume commercial users and end‐use customers at its retail sites. Sunoco has also developed partnerships to offer branded convenience store services, integrating foodservice, retail merchandise and fuel under a single roof.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Sunoco maintains a footprint that spans more than 30 states, with a concentration of retail and wholesale operations in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. The company supports a broad range of end markets, from regional trucking fleets and shipping companies to independent fuel retailers and motorsports venues. Sunoco is a prominent fuel supplier in professional auto racing, providing high‐performance race fuel to NASCAR, IndyCar and other motorsport series.
Founded in 1886 as the Sun Oil Company, Sunoco has evolved from a small Pennsylvania refinery into one of the largest independent distributors of motor fuels in the U.S. In 2018, Sunoco became a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer, though it continues to trade on the NYSE under its own symbol. The company is governed by an experienced management team and board of directors committed to maintaining operational excellence, supply reliability and strong brand partnerships.
